Where We Buy · California · Sacramento County

Sell your Sacramento County mineral rights.

Sacramento, Isleton, Galt: we buy minerals and royalties throughout Sacramento County, the Delta side of the Rio Vista gas field.

Sacramento County's oil and gas is all at the bottom of the county, on the Delta islands below sea level where the Rio Vista field reaches across the river from Solano County. The city has nothing under it worth drilling. The islands do, and in 2026 the field's operator filed plans to drill dozens of new gas wells there, the first real development news this corner of the state has had in a long time.

What produces here. CalGEM's 2023 annual report, the latest county table it has published, put Sacramento County at 1,773,641 Mcf of gas and 3,241 barrels of oil for the year. CalGEM's WellSTAR records as of November 2026 show 62 active wells, 60 of them operated by California Resources Production Corporation and 61 of them in the Rio Vista field, with PEOCO holding two. In November 2026 CalGEM released a draft environmental study for California Resources' Rio Vista Well Development Project, 83 new natural gas wells across the field, 32 of them in Sacramento County, to tie into the existing gathering system.

Whatever you own here, producing royalties, non-producing acreage, or an inherited fraction split among family, we will identify it from whatever paperwork you have, value it off the actual wells and activity, and show you the reasoning with the offer. Free, no obligation, and no pressure: if keeping it is the right answer, we will say so. Inherited it? Start with inherited mineral rights in California.

Questions

Straight answers for Sacramento County owners

What are mineral rights worth in Sacramento County?
This is dry gas country, so value turns on gas price, on the slow declines these Sacramento Basin fields run, and on your decimal in the lease, not on oil headlines, and in Sacramento County that ranges from a few dollars a month to a real income, so county averages mislead. Send a statement and we will run the actual calculation with the reasoning shown, free.
Does SB 1137 affect what my minerals are worth?
If your tract is within 3,200 feet of homes, schools or other sensitive receptors, yes. SB 1137 bars new wells and reworks inside that setback, so minerals under or next to a town are worth what the existing wells will pay for the rest of their lives and little more. Minerals in open country are not affected by the setback, which is why two tracts in the same field can be worth very different amounts. We map your tract against the setback zone before we value it, free.
Can I lose California minerals by not doing anything with them?
Yes, and it is the one California rule every absentee owner should know. Under Civil Code 883.210 to 883.270 a surface owner can go to court to terminate a severed mineral right that has been dormant for 20 years, meaning no production, no lease, no recorded instrument and no taxes paid on it. The cure is cheap: record a notice of intent to preserve the mineral interest in the county, which restarts the clock. If you inherited non-producing California minerals and nobody has recorded anything since the 1990s, do that first and then call us.
What does it cost me to sell?
Nothing. Berlin pays all title work, document preparation, and recording costs. The offer you accept is the amount you receive.
